Green Screen

Green screen is one of the most popular production technologies, and here’s how we wrangle it: lay down a 11’ x 11’, or 20' X 30' chroma key cloth. Size matters , so be sure to find the dimensions that suit your project best.

Paul Elliott
Independent Filmmaker

“I needed a venue with a large white space for a low-budget music video shoot. I contacted several places, but most were either too expensive or unresponsive. When I emailed Motion Source, I was astounded by the quick response time. The studio is beautiful, the amenities are great, and above all, the customer service is phenomenal. They genuinely care about you and your production.”

Ruben Figueres
Owner, Alario Group

"We really enjoyed shooting at Motion Source! We shot on green screen and it worked out great. The staff was very helpful. In our case we had about 12 people in our crew and the space worked out just fine. Overall I highly recommend Motion Source and will rent from them again."

Kestutis Daugirdas
CoFounder/Producer, Elevant Productions

"Cyc studio looks amazing! Easy to get great results here. The Kino wall-light package provides a great starting point, and additional lighting available on-site is really convenient and affordable. Staff is very helpful and accommodating."

Benjamin Garbe
Senior Creative Consultant, Video and Animation, The Futures Company

“We used Motion Source for a shoot for a major cable network. We shot one on one and group interviews against their white cyc. It was freshly painted and lit when we arrived. Jeff was our producer on set and he was super helpful and awesome. Really great experience. We will be back."
